"A place for members to discuss anything they want, subjects not 
appropriate for any of the other lists."

According to the list description, this discussion's appropriate to this 
list so I don't see the rationale for excommunication, especially given 
the relatively civil tone of the proceedings.

Don't set tasks for me. If you've got a link, insert it.

Also, as I wrote, the section to which you referred in the Geneva 
Convention was, in fact, ambiguous. The ambiguity was resolved in a 
different section and did not support the impression you were trying to 
convey that Geneva Convention protections were not being extended to 
legitimate combatants in Iraq by the American military.

The only conclusion I can draw then is that you were either being 
disingenuous or credulous. If it's the former then I can reasonably 
expect more of the same. Not an interesting prospect. If the latter then 
you've been made aware of the dishonesty of the sources to which you 
give credence.

In any case, the discussion is becoming academic as shown by the 
secondary status the Iraqi war now enjoys in the Democratic primary. The 
war's clearly moving from the phase in which dissolution of the 
newly-formed Iraqi government is a possibility to the phase in which 
that government asserts control over its borders and internal security. 
At that point it's no more an American domestic political issue then the 
troops in South Korea are an American domestic political issue.
